Try looking in Fiddlers Creek.
I have a property there for sale and it might be just what you want.
It might be a good idea to lease for a year in the neighborhood and then select a property.
I can do that too.

You have gotten several opinions of value for your home. As you know we have been in a difficult market for the last couple years and maintaining value has been difficult. I believe the recent trends show that the table may be turning. Volume of sales are on a continual uptick. The prices are low but to stabalize the market we need to lower the supply of properties on the market.

Alot of people have been sitting onb the fence waiting for the bottom. As in stocks and any other type of investing, no one can predict the top or the bottom and the only indication, in my opinion, of when it has passed is a directional change in sales volume. When we pass the top I believe volume drops off not to return until we pass the bottom. Our pending and closed sales volumes have been increasing for several months.

As the other professionals on this site have shared, if you want to sell quickly you need to price at or below the market. If you do not need to sell you may want to wait on the sidelines and watch the market. The one thing I advise against strongly is putting your property on the market at the price you would like to recieve if it is not in line with the evaluations you recieve from listing professionals. I believe our market is skewed by the overpriced properties that do not sell. Well priced properties are selling today. I listed a home last friday that went pending this thursday with several back up offers.

I recommend you contact a knowledgeable market professional and discuss your needs to sell now or possibly hold your property for better times.

A 'quick' look at what is going on in your developement, regarding pricing, shows that homes the size of yours, 1721sf, under air, are listed for around $279,000, plus or minus. There is nothing over $300,000. There have been NO SALES of 'comparable' homes in more than a year. I am aware of the frustration buyers like you have, but the market is the market and either you want, or need, to sell or you don't. If you want or need to sell, you must price your home at the CURRENT MARKET. The current market is determined by what a BUYER is willing pay and a seller is willing to accept. Sellers do not set the market in this environment. You must price your home at a level to encourage perspective buyers to at least give it a look. If they won't come and look, they won't buy.

If you would like to discuss this with me further, and perhaps discuss a market stratagy, please feel free to phone me at 239-560-0014. If not, I wish you the best of luck with your home.

Hi Resource
I currently have the lowest price home in the development. There has been a lot of showings, biggest problem is the fear factor. With all the developer issues going on their, lower priced homes being built further driving the home prices down. It is not a good situation. If you need any further information about the selling side of Andalucia feel free to contact me at bcaron@kw.com
Good luck

These closed sales are almost to old to be good comps. Andalucia is all over the map with home values ince most all owners that bought and closed which is about 40 of the total 120 lot's they can build on are UPSIDE down on their mortgage. The value of the home you are asking about could be from 200-400K depending on what lender we are dealing with. Of the 7 for sale only 2 are not short sales or upside down, one is at 290 and one at 390.

There are currently 7 homes listed on our multiple listing service on this street. The prices range from $244,000-449,000. I do not know the model, size, upgrades etc. A good estimation would be to look at the sold homes in the last few months that are similar in size, etc.
